My computer-my newfound past time
March 27, 2007 my life changed.
I woke up to a very normal day. Sunny, the way I like it. Asked Ging-ging for my usual morning coffee. Sat in front of the african lovebirds’ cage and listened to their songs as I do my morning reading. The morning was normal. Did all I had to do, just routine stuff, like going to McCoy’s and making sure everything was okay. McCoy’s normally take up the whole morning.
Afternoon flew without any hitch. Still normal, took care of the kids, made sure they were well fed, safe and happy. Of course, had to force Lya to do her exercises. But that is still within normal.
The day is at it’s end. The kids were already indoors and I was doing my daily exercise. It’s not much. Just an hour of walking around our subdivision and doing some stretchings and sit ups. This hour was for me. It’s a time for me think. Having three kids, it’s not easy to find peace and quiet.
As I was enjoying "my" peace and quiet, I met Jeff. He was the Smartbro agent for the wi-fi. Haha akala nyo kung ano na ano? He was trying very hard to convince me to have wi-fi installed in my house. And since I am such a sucker for salespersons. I simply feel empathy for him. It’s not easy to sell. And since he’s such a nice young boy. I said ok. After all, he was giving me a good deal. 999 unlimited internet use. It was cheap!!!
I really was happy I had wi-fi connected. Now I’ve reconnected ties with long lost friends as I can now answer their emails more regularly. And I am learning so many things from having a fast internet connection. I love it. From a computer idiot I’m slowly becoming a computer geek. Naaaks……Just joking. I love this newfound skill that I’m acquiring. Makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something.
The first reason I had the wi-fi connected was because I couldn’t say no to this Jeff because he had desperation written all over his face. I’m guilty. I really couldn’t say no. And second, was for the kids. I thought they could use it for research in their studies. I never thought that it could be beneficial for me as well. Now I consider it as one of my accomplishments this summer. Another one on my list.

Ah, the gift of not being able to say no. I, myself, doesn’t know how to say that word. It’s only two letters, but… sigh! Oy, computer geek, I love your Blogs.
